So this means first you'll have to format your external disk to NTFS in Windows, before connecting it to the Synology?
Did you also check if the file timestamps ar ok in the backups? This is a problem with FAT32 formatted disks..

Can anybody advise me on this? It seems to take a long time to format the external drive in NTFS...I'll have a Maxtor 1TB, so I want to make sure I do it right, and not wasting time.
Hopefully they can improve this before the final release..

I have to fill my new 2-TB HDDs (WD Caviar Green WD20EADS in my 207+) with the files (typically DVD-ISO) on an external drive (1 TB Samsung HD 103UJ).
I did this as a satashare with File Station explorer from the Syno. (firmware beta 914)
I noticed that it went very slow and therefore I did a measurement: a single copy job of 53 GB took 6:30' (390') and this at night with no other activity on the Syno.
I then did connect (eSata) the same disk to my PC (Win XP, Intel 2.8 GHz): a single copy job of 43 GB took 90' (also as the only activity on PC enSyno).
There is definitely something wrong here.
